Doctor Who

Doctor Who is about the adventures of a mysterious time-traveller known only as The Doctor. The Doctor travels through space and time in a craft known as the TARDIS, an acronym for "Time and Relative Dimension in Space". The Doctor is usually accompanied by one or more companions, who are often females. The tone of the genre varies from serious to comic, from gothic horror to pantomime camp.

The Doctor
The Doctor was the alias adopted by a renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey who journeyed through time and space in his outdated Type 40 TARDIS which he had stolen, with various travelling companions at his side.

Alone among the Time Lords, he survived the Last Great Time War as the last of his kind. Throughout his life, he had a particular association and affinity with Earth and its primary and most significant natives, the human race. Thanks to his eternal heroics, he was a well-known and frequently celebrated individual throughout time and space, in contrast to the opinions of his enemies, many of which regarded him as an object of fear, hatred and terror.

Due to the unique structure of Time Lord physiology, the Doctor had the ability to regenerate, so as to "cheat death". A Time Lord was usually limited to twelve regenerations, making the "thirteenth Doctor" the last. Later, however, the eleventh Doctor stated that he could change his appearance 507 times. It is currently unknown if this is something which has changed or if the Doctor was simply being sarcastic.

In a Doctor Who sim, most likely the sims GM would take the role of one of the Doctor's incarnations.



The Tardis
The Doctor's TARDIS, frequently called simply "the TARDIS" — often called "the Ship" by the First Doctor — was an obsolete Type 40 and/or Mark I TARDIS used by the Doctor as his primary means of transport. Capable, like all TARDISes, of travelling through space and time, the Doctor travelled in his vessel from the beginning of the universe itself shortly after the Big Bang to the death of the universe in year one hundred trillion.



Companions
Throughout much of his life, the Doctor has chosen (or been forced) to share his travels with an array of individuals, occasionally referred to in official terms as companions. Usually humanoid and female, these platonic relationships have provided the Doctor with company and, occasionally, a means to control his actions. On rare occasions, most noticeably in the case of Rose Tyler and Charlotte Pollard, the Doctor developed a relationship with a companion that could be said to move away from platonic. At least one "family member", Susan Foreman, also travelled as a companion to the Doctor for a time. In his later incarnations, the Doctor became hesitant to take on companions, offering only the most exceptional the opportunity to travel with him. On at least one occasion he evicted a companion for bad behaviour. After the painful loss of one companion, Donna Noble, he refused to take on new companions for fear of having his heart broken again. Despite this claim, after he regenerated into his eleventh incarnation, he took on Amy Pond, and later, her fiancé Rory Williams as companions, claiming that he had grown tired of travelling alone. In a Doctor Who sim, most of the players would take on the role as a Companion. These Companions can be Human, Alien, or even a 'Tin Dog'.

There are many other species and enemies that The Doctor has encountered over the years.

Time and Space
Time is a fundamental physical quality, measuring the duration of events and the intervals between them. It can be seen as part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events happen in sequence. Space-time vessels like TARDISes can travel along this dimension in the same way that ordinary space vessels can travel along the other dimensions

Space was a term used to refer to two different concepts relating to the universe. One of these terms was used with regards to dimensions; space is linked to time, with space being the third dimension and time the fourth. The term space was also used to refer to the vacuum that existed in the universe, outside of a planetary body's atmosphere. This was often known as "outer space"
